Yuh know wah all this SOCA and CHUTNEY shit..............why we have to have a catchy nickname that we pick...............I think the best nicknames are ones that are given

I say just call it T&T warriors........

We eh have no lions, no elephants.............no eagles, tricolore is used by about three teams............I say call them TRINBAGO FOOTBALLERS cause that is what they are.....I agree with the SOCA thing confusing as they all think is SOCCER we trying to say

99.9% of the people in Germany will think that Soca is how you spell Soccer in Trinidadian.

Thaz the ice breaker right there... we correct them and give them the story. And if is a good looking thing, you could correct she posture too.

oh gorsh Soca Warriors is de name of we team fuh a long while now, if we didn't qualify for WC nobody woulda care if it didn't have Chutney in it. It is true dat some members of de Indian community are insecure about this, which is stupid because no body was studying race when giving the team its name. And I am indian so doh tell me I racial.

There are no "Africans" from T&T, only TRINIS
There are no "Indians" from T&T, only TRINIS

sames goes to Chinese and reds if yuh identify yourself from there - TRINIS.

Talk done. Who vex lorse.

This man is a c**t who wrote that article...

I find Soca Chutney Warriors sounds stupid whether it made sense or not and we cannot re-name de Soca Warriors,,, that I agree with..... But Chutney is not only a spicy sauce you eat with curry, that is a racsist comment, he knows nothing about indian food and should shut he dam ass because he looking stupid,,, trying to make Chutney look stupid in a smart way, but if it was de other way around them indian dead for saying that,,,, I believe he related to Cro Cro, Socapro, Touches or Sugar Aloes.

He wasn't saying that he believes that Chutney is just a sauce, he's saying that to the world it is.

WE ARE THE SOC WARRIORS!!

The world's ignorance is not our problem. How the Hell would ppl ever know, if we hide it.

You think S. Africa was worried about "foreigners" when they called themselves Bofana Bofana (sp)??

What de Hell is a Los Ticos?? U think CR give a damn about my ignorance??

Peace,

Grande man i was now typin almost the same ting, people have to get past this shit.we all trini. most of the people making noise either racists or had big racial issues since way back or som body tryin to make a quik buck. soca was made using indian and african music/culture and all the other races are still trini so it represents them too. the people at the top want this shit its easier to control people wen u divide them.
KND2 alot of people listen to chutney in trinidad. the promotion of chutney as well as every genre of music in Trinidad is important but not in this way. Football should promote football it just so happens soca was attached to the name years bak and it stuck just like any other countries football teams name. i tink if the name was to be changed then it would be sad that trinidadians have acted that way.

The comment isn't racist...it was said tongue-in-cheek and he was looking at it particularly from the viewpoint of someone unfamiliar with Trinidad and Tobago...go look up the definition of 'Chutney' in the dictionary and see what you find.

Be careful in your haste to paint other with the stupid brush that some of that self same paint don't splatter on you.

If we didn't make it to de world cup I wonder if they would have still be concern about keeping Soca Warriors,,,,, all of a sudden they proud of Soca in de Warriors and de Soca artist still struggling.... and now de Indian want piece to. It hard for Indian to really get respected in T&T because as soon as T&T make it big in something them creole fighting them down, whether music or sports. No Indian on de team too. They dont complain when Indian copanies sponsor them though.

In case there was any doubt...I am now fully convinced that you both think and speak with your ass.

Touches I am not one for arugment on this board, but for real that is a pretty poor line of logic he come up with there. Do you honestly think that this is what people will think from the name Soca Chutney Warriors
Quote
To sum up: the T&T Soca Chutney Warriors would communicate a team of poorly educated curry fanatics.
So now they think we are poorly educated fanatics who cant spell Soccer.

Thats a stretch!!!

Not a stretch at all...if you were paying attention during the broadcast of the Nov. 12 game you'd have heard the team being called the "Soccer Warriors". Case in point number 2, I am selling some 'Got Soca? Warriors' tee shirts...even my printer calls them "Got Soccer warriors shirts"

The average non west indian has little or no knowledge of what in the world Soca is. To compound it by appending 'Chutney' would only bring further confusion and this is exactly what the author in his own facetious way was trying to convey.

Dat kinda ass-backwards mentality will get us nowhere...

it's about a unique opportunity to promote the country and spread a little knowledge about our culture to the world. Maybe you don't care... but many much more enlightened individuals capable of grasping the broader picture do.

Its not just africans that listen to soca. a Nick name has nothing to do with race, unless it was called the NEGRO warriors . Let get back to talking about FOOTBALL.lol
